WILL GET A SUGAR FACTORY There is to be no halting in the work for a beet sugar fac tory in Salem - And no cessation of. the effort to get 1000 to 1500 acres of sugar beets grown next year, and 8000 acres in 1928, which will bring the. factory. , This should be the concern of every person in this sec tion It -is the most important development work that can be done here, not excepting any. Sugar beets will make a paying crop here on the right kind of land For the beets only.- - But still more important is the fact that growing sugar beets as a rotation crop will improve the soilmake' it produce larger crops of other kinds And the by-products will boom dairying, live stock breed ing generally, our poultry industry and all the other indus tries Qn the land. !The people of Salem could afford to give a bonus to the farmers of this section, to get the bet sugar industry started here.'' Once started, it will take care of itself in the way of fexpansion. cities, reached by cold storage shipments. This seems to justify enormous expansion in the black sweet cherry branch of the industry. The necessity for the development of a gigantic bee industry here is now well recognized for the .pollenizing of the fruit blossoms. With ample late bee pasture, ours will be the best bee district known, and this is now being provided, with Grimm alfalfa, the white and sweet clovers, including the Hubam clover and other suitable crops, giving the bees a long season for their work. THE CHERRY CITY OF THE WORLD Salem was named "The Chery City of the World" by A. F. Hofer a number of years ago, when he was secretary of the Salem Commercial club, now the Salem Chamber of Com merce And Salem ( has lived up to that name and is capable of living more "Superbly and completely up to it; qualifying for the high honor by both quality and quantity production Though she has added a number of handles, as the logan berry center, the prune center, the flax center, the walnut and filbert center, the strawberry city, the mint city, the celery center, the poultry center, and a number of other dis tinctions through linking up with outstanding industries on the land the manufacturing and shipping and merchandising and banking facilities of the city. "All the great sweet cherries of commerce were originated in the Salem district the Lambert, Bing, Black Republican and the Long Stemmed Waterhouse and several substitutes used for pollination purposes ; all except the Royal Ann or Napoleon. And 6ne authority includes the Royal Ann. Any way, the Royal Ann is brought to perfection here ' For the natural conditions are here; the right combination bi soil and sunshine and showers. The growing of sweet cherries on a commercial scale, excepting for a few. sections of Michigan, is confined to the Pacific coast; and the best cherry section of this coast is the Salem district; best in possibilities of both quality and quantity production on a given number of acres, and having the lowest priced lands adapted to cherry growing, and scores of thousands of surplus acres of such land. The Cherrians, Salem's famous good will and booster organization, with their fine Cherrian band, typify the inter est of this section in this industry. CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE After reporting the interview to Roberta on their way home, Piggy said with a chuckle: "He looked me over and quizzed me to his heart's content and didn't tumble. So that's all right. Nobody's go ing to suspect us now." His chuckles deepened into laughter when Janet gave them her account of he invasion of their domestic sanctuary. "Bully," he exclaimed. "They have swept and sifted us. We're safe." Ceclia, whom he .now saw for the first time since bandaging her ankle the night before, looked up at him with a tremulous smile from the couch where she was ly ing. ""Thanks to you! I don't know how I can ever thank -" "Oh, rats!1 Piggy interrupted, grinning at her. "Forget it! I've had the time of my life. Anyhow, you'd be there yet, if It hadn't been for Bob. It was her scheme. I didn't know a bonfire would scare them silly and I never would have thought of those cats in a million years!" He chortled joyously. "If you're so chock full of gratitude that you can't hold it, spill it on Bob. She's respons ible." Roberta shook her head. "No, Peter, you're the hero of this little tale," she said lightly, but with the mysterious something in her face that always set his heart hammering and gave him an in sane and otherwise unprecedent ed desire of kiss her. "I may have thought of the cats, but you found them. You've done everything. I owe you a lot besides money," she added, more soberly, "and there must be a lot of that." "Oh, not so much. I've still got some left and the worst's over. All we have to do now is to sit tight until the tumult and the shouting dies. The rest's easy." Wherein he failed to take ac count of several gathering forces, among them Clifford Nixon's re current memory of an elusive but haunting resemblance, the wide spreading ripple from a pebble of gossip carelessly thrown, and the power of the press. The last of these was the first to manifest itself, for Nixon's as siduity in spreading the news of Celia's abduction among the peace officers of a dozen towns became known, and Scott's prom inence, as a wealthy manufac turer multiplied the news value of the story. Consequently Boston reporters appeared upon the scene before night, and their New York brethren flocked in a few hours later, all sharp set to pounce upon every clue. Scott locked his gates and loosed his dogs, conducting all business by telephone. The only persons admitted to the Birch- The rules for successful sweet cherry growing in the Salem district are not many. Very briefly, they may be summarized : Use Mazzard stock, set in the orchard, for grafting. ,Use pollenizers. Keephoney bees. Prune properly. pray when needed; and especially is this necessary in most years in the production of high quality black sweet cherries, like the Lamberts and Bingsi The Mazzard stock will keep away or make more easily controlled the gummosis. i There must be pollenizers, because all sweet cherries are self sterile. ' ' Honey bees should be provided, because the pollen of the cherry blossoms is not carried by the wind. It must be carried by insects. Bees' will do this; they will work for their board, willingly, and return you a profit besides. Pruning will increase the spread of the limbs, and keep them nearer to the ground, within easy picking distance. Disease control is well covered by the Oregon; Agricul tural college experts, in timely bulletins and circulars.

Street Commissioner Dated this 28th day of December, 1926. 32 wood grounds, and these only aft er submitting credentials to , the gardener, were detectives sum moned from New York, .all of whom, to their intense disgust, were forbidden to disclose to newspaper men any knowledge they might have of the case, on pain bf instant annihilation- In vain they argued that publicity might lead to important informa tion. Scott was obdurate.' He had, no stomach for public an nouncement of previous trouble with his family and his elder daughter's probable part in" tjhis affair. Nixon, under orders and besieged at the Jaffrey Inn, re fused to be interviewed. Therefore the reporters gleaned what and when and where they could, learning the little that was known and much that was. sur mised concerning Roberta's dec laration of independence and sub sequent disinheritance. The next day, conservative papers in both cities discreetly hinted at a breach in "Scott's family relations, al leged details of which were spread in headlines over the first pages of sensational sheets. . But no in timation of the exile's presence in her own country leaked out. She was supposed to be in Paris. The sheriff at Fitzwilliam, bound by no oath of secrecy, con fided to his fellow villagers that it was a darn shame for Scott to suspect that poor, forlorn little widow, just because she happened to be a stranger. Anybody could see that she and her help were nice, quiet, respectable folks. He wouldn't blame her a mite if she packed up and left, after a thing like this. Fitzwilliam, agreeing with him. naturally talked. As a result, reporters in livery buggies sped through the-woods, to swarm at Fitzwilliam, seeking inter views, and it developed upon Janet and Piggy to hold them at bay. Mrs. Smith, postrated by this distressing publicity, was said to be confined to her bed. As far as possible, Peter Brown also kept in the background, fear ing that some of these lynx-eyed crafty news-hounds might have known him by sight during a former somewhat spectacular in carnation and be keen enough to recognize him. One of the New York men, however, succeeded In cornering him in the barn, hav ing been informed by the grim Janet that Mrs. Smith was un able to see anyone and that she herself refused to answer impair tineht questions. "Say. look here, bo," said Pig gy confidentially, "call it off. will you? We ain't done nothin' to nobody, an' we ain't got nothin to tell. Poor Mrs. Smith's been all in. anyhow, ever since he died, an this thing s made her sicker What's the use o' draggin' her Into it?" "Why did Scott have her house searched, then?" "Search me! Because siie's the only stranger around here. guess. Or else the old goat's- bat ty. He hunted in every closet an under all the beds an everything an' didn't find nothin. That oughter be enough. He could buy an" sell her three times over, an maybe he thinks his money gives him a right to walk on her or maybe he thinks a woman can do nothin' to get back , at him. But you take it from me that If Horatio Smith was alive " "Horatio Smith, eh? Came from Seattle, didn't you? Was he well known out there?" "Not so very. Had his friends, o coarse, but he was a quiet sort o " guy. Never mixed around much. Used to read a lot an' he was awful fond p her." "Who were his friends there?" "Aw, come off! 1 ain't goin' to set no dogs on them. What you guys got against her, anyhow? Can't you let the poor thing have a little peace? She's got trouble enough how, without all this. "Nixon saw her the other day and recognized her." "He did not! Jonesy, down at the store, to Id me all about that the same day. Nixon said she looked like some friend o' his, so Jonesy told him who she was where she come from an' every thing -an Nixon said she couldn't be the one. That's all there is to that. Go an' ask Jones yourself or Nixon, either." The reporter had already inter viewed iones. Fixing the other with a penetrating stare, he in quired suddenly: "What does a young fellow like you dye his hair for?" The heart of Percival Galahad Brazenose turned three complete somersaults before settling down to a rate approaching two hun dred a minute, but his steady gray eyes never wavered and his grin looked humorous.

And it will become a great industry in Itself. V V Portland Chamber of Commerce says in a, current bulletin that Eu ?enp Hoyt, an Illinois man. is com ing to Oregon to invest 120.000 in a walnut orchard, and to make his home. Also A. L. MacLeod of Illinois is to come and invest up to $20, 000 in a farm to breed Guernseys or Jerseys. The Salem district is the place 'for both these men. Talking about walnut land, the owner of the Sky Line orchard had that property for sale. But he visited Salem and the farm a week or so ago, and remained several and the farm a week or so ago. and remained several days and decided that he will not sell Sky Line. He will keep it.

A lot of them will be in soon after New Year's. funds to pay the inspector. The present law provides for the elimination of disease through destruction where curative meth ods fail after the owner has been notified by the Inspector. The committee decided to change that to give the inspector legal oppor tunity .to act where there are dl ! seases discovered that might ' spread nnickly. The amendment would allow the inspector a flat fee for "cleaning up the hives" after he had notified the owner of the presence of disease and the owner had not the training neces sary to correct conditions himself. The committee resolved to ask the legislature for an annual ap propriation of $3000 to be placed with the extension service at Ore gon Agricultural college to pro vide salary and expenses for ex pert supervision of the bee In spectors in the various counties by an expert of the college depart ment of entomology. By making the work of the inspectors educa tional it will be possible to eradi cate the beekeeper who is now ignorant of the afflictions that make his apiary profitless to him self and dangerous to others. The committee decided that the term county bee inspector smacked of law enforcement too much when their purpose is to educate. They will change the title to coun ty apiarist. The college expert in charge would bear the title of state apiarist. Present conditions are certainly not satisfactory.

One secluded hive infected with brood can upset the most careful inspection of the larger apiaries, for bee diseases are decidedly infectious. The meeting adopted a motion to in form the county assessor of Mar ion county of the law so that he can instruct his deputies to list all bee hives. The beekeepers agreed that a minimum inspection fee of $2.50 would be fair. The charge per hive would be 10 cents for inspec tion where there are more than 25 hives.
